From inventor of the web, Tim Berners Lee
This is a continuum, not a yes/no scenario.
From inventor of the web, Tim Berners Lee
Your things have to have be findable on the web, ideally as…
For example…
This page collects URIs that have no “cruft”, meaning no “.cgi”, “.php”, “.asp”, “?”, “&”, “=” and the like, and are therefore not dependent on a finite or changeable technology, are less prone to change as infrastructure evolves, and are potentially more human-readable.
- “Very clean URIs,” S. Heath
From inventor of the web, Tim Berners Lee
a standard for data interchange that is used for representing highly interconnected data. Each RDF statement is a three-part structure consisting of resources where every resource is identified by a URI. Representing data in RDF allows information to be easily identified, disambiguated and interconnected by AI systems. - Ontotext Knowledge Hub
Triplets: Subject - Predicate - Object (where all three parts are URIs)
Multiple formats for storing these statements. Turtle (.ttl) is a very readable one.
